Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1370

stone city.

Above the city is a city wall, and the thick city wall is backed by a stone hill.

Below the city is the Qinhuai River, which faces the mouth of the Yangtze River.

This is a good place to rely on mountains and water.

But now, this has become the cruelest battlefield in the entire Jianye City. The main force of the Violent Xiong Navy plus the four battle battalions of the Jingping Navy, with a force of nearly [-], attacked here fiercely.

The Wu army is also constantly increasing its troops.

Huang Gai not only pushed most of the main force up, but also recruited five thousand young men from the city, and rushed them onto the battlefield in a hurry.

As for the Ming army, they have maintained their offensive for a whole day now, and this place has become like a Shura field. The city walls have been smashed into pits and nests by the Ming army's combined trebuchets.

There were even more smashed corpses on the city wall, and it was too late to move them away.

Blood and gunpowder smoke are blending.

"They really are crazy!"

Huang Gai gasped heavily, the pressure from the Ming army outside the city was too fierce, and he would be fine for a while, but it lasted nearly two days like this.

He couldn't hold it anymore.

The soldiers in the city are constantly attrition.

Especially the elite soldiers, faced with the long-range weapon attack from the tall building below the city, almost every moment, some soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

Such a cruel battle, ordinary soldiers and horses really can't bear it.

Their Tiger Army can be regarded as the elite among the elite, but even so, it is a bit too much. In addition, there are young and strong men who have just been recruited to the city wall to guard the city, and they are already trembling.

"Since they are desperate, a certain family can also be desperate!"

Huang Gai gritted his teeth and held on, even his own voice became a little indifferent, and his killing intent became more and more determined: "Boys, fight to the end and stop them here at any cost!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

After all, the Tiger Army is the elite of the Wu army. Even in the face of such difficulties and pressures, they did not collapse.

"Father, the news just came!" Huang Bing ran up quickly, his forehead was also wrapped with white gauze. During the five-hour battle, he was injured, so he withdrew from the front line. Now When the messenger said: "Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang, has led his army to Shicheng, and he can reach Jianye in a day and a half. Zhou Yu's fleet even crossed Shicheng, and he can reach the mouth of the Yangtze River in a day at most!"

"it is good!"

Huang Gai's eyes brightened up: "If you pass on the order, the reinforcements will arrive in half a day. Tell the battalions that for the honor of Wu, for the survival of Jianye, and for the safety of the king, even if one soldier dies in the battle, he must die." Go on fighting!"

"Yes!"

The fighting spirit of each battalion has increased by [-]%, and the fighting spirit has become more and more firm.

"kill!"

"dash forward!"

"Trebuchet, aim, launch!"

"Louchuan, continue to steer the rudder!"

On the surface of the river, warships lingered around the building to form a temporary fortress, and the noisy voices were constantly shouting and drinking.

Zhuge Liang held the binoculars in one hand and the hilt of the sword in his other hand, and stared at the stone city not far in front of him. The stone city stood in front of him like an indestructible rock.

"General Zhonglang!"

A general rushed up and reported in a hurry: "Our reserves of stone bombs have been exhausted, and the combined trebuchet has been used for a long time, and it took three sets!"

"Damn!"

Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth, it was time to work hard, but the sequelae of their long-distance raid came out.

Because of the long-distance raid, there will be problems with logistical replenishment.

When I was in Zongyang, I simply added it, but many special stone bullets, special arrows, and some large ordnance replacement parts required the logistics department of the Privy Council to configure them.

There is no way to add it.

In the battle of Pengze Lake, it consumed a lot. Now such a fierce attack naturally consumes a lot, basically exhausting the storage of the entire Violent Bear Navy.

"Cai Sima, your department's reserves?"

"General Zhuge Zhonglang, the reserves of our four battalions have basically been exhausted!" Cai Mao said with a wry smile: "The previous night's attack has consumed most of it, and now it is exhausted!"

"Replenishment is impossible!"

Zhuge Liang paced back and forth, he raised his head, and looked at the sky: "It's getting dark soon, we have no time, and Gan Ning has no time either, Jianye is related to the safety of Wu State, Wu State must have sent troops to serve the king, I am afraid it will not take a day or two In time, troops will besiege us, and we only have one chance for one night!"

As he said that, his eyes suddenly became fierce: "Then this night, I will use myself as a temptation to create an opportunity for Gan Xingba. As for the success or failure, we will be buried in Jianye City." , or Gan Xingba wins in one blow, it depends on God's will!"

This battle has reached this point, and there is no way out for anyone.

Either take a step forward and directly destroy the central nervous system of the entire Wu State, and kill Jianye City, or be surrounded by King Wu Guoqin's army, and it will be difficult to even break through.

It is an opportunity, but also a danger.

This is war.

War can only be fought.

Zhuge Liang knew that he had no way out, he could only do what he could do to perfection, and leave the rest to Gan Ning.

I just hope that Gan Xingba will not disappoint the king's expectations of him, otherwise even if he dies, he will not rest in peace.

"Let go of defense and attack with all your strength!"

Zhuge Liang changed his strategy and quickly issued a military order: "The main force of the third battalion and the fourth battalion will stay, and the Violent Bear will stay. Zhang Yun will lead the rest of the warships to storm the gate of Shishicheng Pass. In addition, Cai Mao's army Sima, you also lead the Jingping Navy The warships, in cooperation with Zhang Yun, broke through the gates of the stone city, rushed in, and crushed their warships, and I will force the defenders of the stone city out to fight."

"But can you stop it here?" Cai Hao's pupils changed slightly. Once the main force attacks, it means that only one building ship and two battalions of soldiers are left to face Stone City's long-range attack. impossible things.

"It doesn't matter if you can stop it or not, as long as you crush them to death and rush over, they will be toothless tigers waiting to be dealt with by us!"

Zhuge Liang said calmly: "I will delay you as long as possible. You must hurry up and attack, no matter how many sacrifices you make, you will not hesitate. After all, without sacrifice, there is no victory!"

This sentence is very cruel.

But very classic.

On the battlefield, never kill the opponent without bloodshed. That is the most stupid idea in itself. Only by sacrifice can there be victory. After all, killing one thousand enemies requires self-defeating eight hundred.

"Yes!"

All the generals could feel Zhuge Liang's ferocious heart to destroy the city. At this moment, no one dared to refute, but if they dared to refute a word, Zhuge Liang promised to cut them off.

The morale of the army cannot be shaken.

"kill!"

"Boys, turn the rudder and rush to the left wing!"

"Stop the right wing warship and crush them to death!"

The transformation of the Ming army's warships was completed in half an hour. At this time, night had already begun. At this time of nightfall, the entire gate of Stone City became a meat grinder.

"Their long-range trebuchet attacks have become less and slower!" On the stone city, Huang Gai stared forward, his eyes flicked, and his voice was cold: "It seems that their reserves are almost exhausted!"

"General, the enemy suddenly attacked our army's gate. Lieutenant Dong Xi and Lieutenant Xu Gong couldn't hold on anymore. More than one-fifth of our warships were damaged!"

"what?"

Huang Gai quickly looked at the direction far below the city, which was the direction of the gate. The gate had defenses, and the defenses on the stone city formed horns, forming the defense line of the stone city to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"Sure enough, it seems that their logistics is insufficient, and they are no longer able to use large catapults to fight us, so at this moment, they are going to do their best, just like the overlord of Western Chu back then, breaking the boat!"

Huang Gai quickly reacted: "Send my military order, mobilize all the reserve warships, and fight them to the end, and also order all the stone catapults in the city to face the direction of the gate, and smash it for me, at any cost, smash one It's a ship!"

"Father, will you accidentally hurt me?"

Huang Shan asked.

"Now I only care about whether the gate will be opened by them. As for accidental injury, I can only avoid it as much as possible. If there is no way to avoid it, there is nothing I can do!"

Huang Gai said in a low voice: "Protecting Jianye City is my first responsibility!"

Once the battlefield on the river becomes mixed, the warships will blend together, and once the large defensive equipment on their city is used, it will be difficult to distinguish between themselves and the enemy.

..............................

The raging flames of war dyed the entire western sky of Jianye a bright fiery red.

The roaring sound of killing also echoed constantly in Jianye City.

Jianye is a new city, and it has not been established for a long time. Many people have even moved here from various places, and their dependence on Jianye and their sense of belonging are insufficient.

When the war broke out, some people had the desire to flee, but all the city gates were closed, and there was order in the city, so they had no chance.

But it is inevitable to have a brilliant heart.

In the Hall of Absolute Beginning, the lights were brightly lit.

Sun Jian didn't dare to fall asleep for two whole days, his eyes were as dark as a panda's, but his eyes were still sharp. At this moment, he had already put on his battle armor.

With him like this, the courtiers can trust him even more.

Only the Jiangdong Tiger, who is invincible on the battlefield, can give peace of mind to the generals of the Wu Dynasty at this time.

"Still fighting?"

Sun Jian stared at the map and asked sinisterly.

"Ok!"

Zhang Zhao felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't express it. He cupped his hands and said, "The Ming army is desperately fighting, and our army has almost suppressed all the battle battalions."

"When will Zhou Yu arrive?"

"Up to one day!"

"Where's Tai Shici?"

"I'm afraid it will take longer, about two days!"

"How about the casualties of the tiger army?" Sun Jian is a battle-tested general. He rose from the war. Compared with being a king, he is better at being a dignitary. Compared with Wu Chaotang, he is more familiar with the battlefield.

"The casualties are huge!"

Zhang Zhao said bitterly: "The battle damage has already exceeded a quarter!"

"Not right!"

Sun Jian squinted his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I am very aware of the fighting power of the Tiger Army. In terms of the current military strength, although it seems to be in danger, I believe that the public will be able to stop it for at least two days. It is impossible for the Ming army." Didn't notice this, but they are still attacking fiercely, why?"

I am not afraid that the whole army will be wiped out on the Yangtze River.

Or they didn't know that the main force of Wu Jun's King Qin was already close to Jianye.

Sun Jian did not believe that the Ming army did not have such a source of information. If so, they would not have dared to approach Jianye. If the Ming army dared to be so rampant, it meant that the Ming army must know Jiangdong very well.

The intelligence system of the Ming army does not even need Sun Jian to question it.

"What does the king mean?"

Zhang Zhao frowned.

"I always feel something is wrong!" Sun Jian stood up, pacing back and forth, his eyes flickered for a while, and he couldn't figure out, besides the Yangtze River, could the Ming army have other places to attack Jianye.

That impossible thing.

But there is only one opening in the road along the Yangtze River. If they can't get in, everything is useless. As long as the delay continues, they will die.

Wu Jun will encircle more than [-] main forces, and they will inevitably face a fate of complete annihilation.

If it was stated that the purpose of the army was to force Wu to withdraw from the alliance, they had already done so, and Wu would lose all face as soon as the soldiers came to Jianye.

At this time, it is time to withdraw troops.

Or did the Ming army think that with their strength, they could break through Jianye City and kill him, the king, in the capital?

"What is Your Majesty worried about?" Zhang Zhao was also a little uneasy, especially under Sun Jian's mood, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"I can't tell!"

Sun Jian shook his head. He took a deep breath and asked, "Gu ordered Lu Jun, Wei Teng and the others to gather the private soldiers. Did they do anything?"

"Do it!"

Zhang Zhao nodded and said: "Although they have selfish intentions, at this moment, they understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but they don't have many private soldiers in Jianye. Jianye is a new city. Back then, the king was here. Guaranteed that the influence of the various families in this city is not enough, I asked Lu Jun, and they said, even if the private soldiers of each family are mobilized, they can use less than five thousand!"

Jiangdong's aristocratic families can be threatening, in addition to their control of population and food, because they also have private soldiers. Although the military strength is not very strong, but supplemented by their influence, they are enough to threaten the ruling princes.

"Five thousand is five thousand, it's better than nothing!"

Sun Jian said: "I'm uneasy, and I ordered them to be ready at any time. If there is a change in the stone city, go up and harvest immediately. No matter the cost, only by keeping the stone city can we keep the Jianye capital!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhao bowed his hand and took the order.

"Zibu, analyze it, what else is wrong with Gu, Gu always believes that the enemy's frontal attack is not enough to cause fatal casualties to us, if there is..."

Sun Jian racked his brains, looking at Jianye's floor plan, the surrounding areas, mountains, rivers, and rivers were all marked out. A very detailed map was spread out in front of him, but he felt unable to start.

Jianye is a new city, and its defenses are deficient. Even the city walls haven't been built yet. Before the new city was built, only the inner city was built, and the outer city hadn't been built yet.

Once a defense is breached, the entire Jianye will be trampled down by horseshoes, even worse than the defense of an ordinary county town.

"Your Majesty, minister, if you are not good at military strategy, you really can't tell!"

Zhang Zhao shook his head.

"The Ming army caught us by surprise, but the purpose is still unclear. Then analyze it. Is their purpose just that?"

"According to the logic, this is normal. After all, if the Ming Dynasty wants to eliminate my Wu Kingdom first, without this strength, even the main force will have been killed by the princes to their hometown before they want to attack my Wu Kingdom!"

Zhang Zhao analyzed: "However, according to the current offensive in Stone City, there is indeed something wrong. The Ming army did not have a single purpose. They may have further plans, such as capturing Stone City. Once the capital of our country Wu is captured, we must Falling into life and death, the whole country of Wu will be in chaos!"

"Report!"

A sudden sound rushed in from outside.

"Maybe there is a military report in Stone City!" Sun Jian took a deep breath and said, "Come in and report!"

"Something is bad!"

A blood-stained soldier rushed in panting, bowed his head to the ground, and said intermittently: "My lord, I, I, I..."

"Smooth!" Sun Jian was condescending, his eyes were oppressive: "Speak carefully!"

"The east gate is lost!"

"what?"

Sun Jian's eyes widened.

All the ministers stood up against the table, all looking at the blood-stained soldier.

East Gate.

That is the city gate near Zhongshan. The newly built city gate is one of the eight gates of the outer city and the eastern gateway of Jianye, but the battlefield is in the west, above the mouth of the Yangtze River.

How could the East City Gate be lost?

"What's going on, tell me quickly?" Sun Jian roared angrily.

"One hour ago, the divine soldiers descended from the sky, and a group of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed into the gate of my east city from Zhongshan Mountain. The captain led the army to block it. To die in battle, all my subordinates, Erlang, will die in battle!"

The soldier choked with sobs and said, "It was the battlefield where Dai Wu and Dai Cong tried their best to throw me out of the battlefield. Let me report back!"

"The east gate is lost?"

"I can't defend Jianye City anymore!"

"How did this happen?"

Sun Jian suddenly had a feeling of blood rushing to the sky, and the pupils of his eyes became bloody and climbing. When his blood was high, his head became a little dizzy, and he couldn't stand still.

"Your Majesty!"

"Call the imperial physician!"

All the ministers cried out.

"How to do?"

"Is my Jianye City going to lose it?"

At this moment, the ministers also became panicked.

"Need not!"

Sun Jian swayed for a while, stood firm, and his pupils widened. After all, he is a fierce general who has fought bloody battles for countless years. This blow still held up: "I'm not dead yet, calm down, I recommend Although the industry has lost the outer city, there is still an inner city, so why not be afraid!"

"Come here, take my ancient ingot sword!"

Sun Jian suddenly shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty!"

"Go!"

"Yes!" The personal guard quickly took the ancient ingot sword.

"Call the fierce tiger to guard!" Sun Jian took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and see, what kind of sacred place can appear in my Jianye City without a sound!"

Jianye is divided into inner city and inner city. Now that the outer city has been destroyed, only the inner city remains.

When Sun Jian climbed on the wall of the inner city.

The soldiers under the city are like tigers.

He looks out.

Long rows of soldiers held torches and formed a battle formation. The light of the torches could shine on the Jiuchongtian, as if illuminating the entire Jianye East City, especially the battle flags. Very bright to look after.

"Bright!"

"Master Jing Ping!"

"sweet!"

The words on the battle flags were revealed.

"Master Jing Ping!"

Sun Jian gritted his teeth and spit out four words.
